“Nie chuchaj, aby się śnieg nie rozpłynął”. Two unknown Brosciana from the collections of Nicolaus Copernicus Library in Torun

Journal Title: Folia Toruniensia - Year 2015, Vol 15, Issue 15

Abstract

The article addresses the question of provenance research conducted in the collections of the University Library in Torun. It also concerns the identification of the marginalia made by Jan Brożek (1585-1652) in two prints purchased by the University Library in 1968 - Strena by Johannes Kepler (Frankfurt 1611) and Numerus figuratus by Johann Remmelin (Nuremberg 1614).The author provides: a description of the copy, the evidence for the attribution suggested in the text (based on Brożek’s manuscripts kept in the collections of the Jagiellonian Library in Cracow); the marginalia included in Kepler’s work are connected with the treatise Problema geometricum issued by Brożek in 1615. The last part of the article presents the scientific prospects connected with the reconstruction of the scientific skills and tools of the Cracow scientist – both in a smaller dimension referring exclusively to his notes connected with the treatise of 1615, and the whole of his manuscript legacy which is yet to be thoroughly examined.
